AllUnity, an electronic money institution regulated by BaFin, today announced the launch of CHFAU, a stablecoin denominated in Swiss francs. The token is pegged 1:1 to the Swiss currency and is issued in compliance with the European MiCAR (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulation.

The move comes just a few weeks after the company announced its intentions and responds to the demand from institutional investors and companies for regulated digital instruments for payment, settlement and treasury management activities.
CHFAU is structured as an Electronic Money Token (EMT). It is fully backed and guaranteed by Swiss franc-denominated reserves, which are separate from the issuing company’s assets. The transparency regime provides for institutional-level regulatory reporting.
The token was initially made available on the Ethereum blockchain, where it operates as ERC-20, and can be integrated with compatible wallets and protocols. AllUnity plans to extend support to other blockchain networks later this year. Access is currently reserved for institutional and professional clients enabled on the AllUnity Mint platform, which is free to use.
‘The launch of CHFAU represents a milestone in our mission to build a regulated European ecosystem for digital payments,’ said Alexander Höptner, CEO of AllUnity. “In response to strong demand for a compliant digital Swiss franc, we moved from concept to launch in just a few months, demonstrating the robustness and scalability of AllUnity’s multicurrency platform. This milestone marks only the beginning of a broader transformation in the way global liquidity is moved.”
The initiative expands AllUnity’s portfolio, which already includes EURAU, a euro-pegged stablecoin launched in July 2025. According to CoinGecko data cited in some reports, EURAU has reached a capitalisation of approximately £1.2 million, ranking among the most liquid euro stablecoins.
With CHFAU, AllUnity aims to offer a tool for instant cross-border settlements and digital market transactions. The company has stated that it is in the process of finalising integrations with exchange platforms and trading venues, which will be announced progressively.
The launch comes at a time when other Swiss franc stablecoin initiatives are already on the market. Unlike these projects, CHFAU focuses on full compliance with the MiCAR regime and the electronic money institution licence obtained in Germany.
